the conflict in war 

solution

solution i think witch would be a good idea would be combining the 2 consoles using the best points of both and making an ultimate console it could be called ''Play Station XB 180'' 

playstation vs xbox

there is another day to day conflict i found witch is important to me and many others witch is the battle between the x box and the play station it would be quite useful to run a survey thru the public to get there opinion

mac vs ps


My first general Idea when I think of conflict in the modern day world is the argument between the pc and the Macintosh. Me personally am a fan of macs i asking my mum and sister but they prefer pcs ?? but looking around the internet there are endless debates on witch ones better

speekers

i found a speeker but unfortunately it could not go that loud to move the corn flour so i looked on what i could do i looked around and found a clip on the myth busters and they created a sub woofer they made it vibrate by attaching the bottom of the woofer to some part of the engine to make it rapidly vibrate so i looked around and found a little motor and made it unbalanced so in sted of using sound i used the motor to simulate the vibrations like they did in myth busters and it seamed to work quite well



idea

as are team final idea we was going to listen to music and as we do we was going to draw out what we think the sound looks like in are own opinion, what i thought what could be a good idea is to fined a seeker and then play it at a frequency and the lay some thing on top like water, corn flour i was thinking this because then you cold see what sound actually looks like

i found this on the internet to so u what i am on a bout

song

hear are some sone i deas i might use

i have chosen "you spin me right round" for the shear irony and all so the in the remix bye flo-rider it has a good fast beat that could be useful



i looked at the saw theme because in the first 20 seconds i has a unique beet and really useful fading sounds that could relate to my video


i looked at the song psycho because it has a jazzy beat

plate

this is the stencil i made witch is perfect for the plate

I have created the spinning plates in the centre of peace for the kaleidoscope side of things unfortunately I have tried to use a kaleidoscope and the colours was just one big blur so I focused my ideas around squares spinning around and used bright colours to get the groove side of things and the kaleidoscope feel    




hear two of my favourite middle plates all tho the bottom one dose not work i like the idea be hide it i'm going to look moor in to multiple actions in my next plate

to top one works perfectly the spacing is right the camera can pic up the movement really well
getting really close to the end of the project i have created moor or less the final peace butunfortunately i was so close to the project i didn't notes the back ground that shoes wires computer monitors bags at this moment am going to re shoot and use a black cloth for the back ground



this is going to be the animation that is happening the the centre peace

close to the end



prototype

it is quit poor quality because it would of tuck all day to upload but u get the jist on what i'm getting at. this is a prototype video and this is on the lines on what i want my finished peace to look like, i got the hang of the method in general it was quite tricky but i got my head around it i used plenty of light and a camera with a higher shutter speed that makes the video moor fluent when i imported it into after-effect i changed the frame rate from 35 fps to 15 fps this stopped the flickering that we seen in the very first video i made

middle plate






to make things moor interesting i wonted to animate the middle plate so i began to look in to illusions to get an idea on what images look like before and during the spin ''it quite interesting how a still image turns in to a animation when it turns constant speed ''

Flatpack Festival

Local Events

Flatpack Festival

Moving pictures

Spooky films and weird inventions celebrate Birmingham's movie going history as part of Flatpack Festival 2009.

Just off New Street, there’s a long dead couple dancing in the moonlight, amongst crumbling ruins, in a sports shop window. Around the corner, two tragic stars of Vaudeville attempt to saw a piece of wood in half, and on Smallbrook Queensway the shower scene from Psycho plays with text message subtitles.

All this is in homage to Mr. Waller Jeffs- the ‘patron saint’ of Flatpack Festival 2009, who is credited with bringing movies to wide audiences in Birmingham at the beginning of the 20th century.

Exploring cinema

To commemorate Mr. Jeffs, and the movie going traditions of old, the festival has collaborated with Birmingham and Black Country based artists to explore the mechanics of cinema, its history and how humans interact with the moving image.

From bicycle powered animations to an old style variety performance, via an audience with Birmingham’s oldest lovers and a record deck zoetrope, festival organisers 7 Inch Cinema promise surprises around every corner.

The Great Rob Ring

Films on the street

To mark the run up to this year’s festival, shop windows across the city will be turned into film installations by students of Birmingham Institute of Art and Design.

The trail opens on March 5th in Corporation Street, and there are five installations in all, starting with a piece entitled The Great Rob Ring.

Two artists calling themselves simply Chris and Keir came up with the film, which pays homage to one of Canada’s great Vaudeville stuntmen, who died tragically young onstage in a failed attempt to balance on a piece of wood from a great height and saw it in half.

Strange lovers

A little further along the trail, shoppers may be confused by The Cabinet of Curiosity. In the film, two long dead Brummies, known as The City’s Sinister Sweethearts, dance in the window of Up and Running in Temple Street.

BIAD undergraduates Alec Chalmers and Rose Knowles are behind this strange homage to romance from beyond the grave. Alec explains that the scenery is based on local landmarks, including Warstone Cemetery: “We wanted to make use of some of the interesting areas around Birmingham.”

Pedal power!

Imagine paying your entry fee to the cinema, only to find that if you wanted to watch the film, you’d have to cycle for it! An art student from Wolverhampton University has invented a strange movie making contraption that requires just that.

Kevin Timmins’ phenakistoscope is inspired by an early 19th century invention, which allowed viewers to watch an animation by projecting a spinning wheel of images through slits onto a mirror.

Kevin Timmin's phenakistoscope

Whereas the original contraption was powered by hand, Kevin's version is rigged up to a bicycle.

The art student came up with the idea while researching the history of cinema: “I just loved all these little pre-cinema devices- they illustrate wonderfully our thresholds of visual perception.”

The phenakistoscope will be on display and ready for use at Floodgate Kino in Digbeth, as part of a free event throughout the festival.

Outside the box

For the serious projector heads, Un Packed at Digbeth’s Fazeley Studios on March 13th could be just what the director ordered. The day long event provides an insight into the minds of those working in the film industry, through talks and workshops.

Un Packed also explores what organisers call “pre-cinema technologies”, like flip books and zoetropes. Director Jim Le Fevre makes adverts and music videos for a living, but in his spare time he turns record turntables into zoetropes- one of the earliest means of animating still images. Le Fevre calls his invention the phonographantasmascope.

They have been wowing audiences across the country for some time, including an exhibition at London's Victoria and Albert Museum. Visitors to Un Packed can see these machines in action.

A sense of occasion

So why all this in memory of a long dead movie showing Brummie? It seems that for organisers 7 Inch Cinema, Mr. Waller Jeffs symbolises the joy and spectacle of the moving image, and that’s something to be celebrated.

Flatpack Festival started with film screenings in pubs, in the same way that Mr Jeffs hired out local venues across Birmingham to screen his films, before moving his show permanently to Curzon Hall, where it stayed for over a decade.

Festival organiser Ian Francis explains, “What we love about Jeffs is his willingness to try out different things to create a sense of occasion. We hope that if he were still around, he would recognise Flatpack as a scruffy great-grandchild of sorts.”

Flatpack Festival runs from March 11th to 16th in venues across Birmingham. Click the link below for ticket prices and more details.

start

this was my first go at creating my animation to get my head around the tequnics in a away it worked i think with some tweaking and adjustments it could be much better. as i watched that video in the last blog it mentions some thing about a high shutting speed so i am going to look into that

Phonographantasmascope



as i began to look into starting my project i found a great example of a

Phonographantasmascope witched can help me get my project started using this method i can

create one of my own

kaleidoscope

to get my head around a kaleidoscope i made one with 3 sheet of mirror it was quit trick to constructed but i managed to do it i no have a moor understanding of how a kaleidoscope works and how it creates the illusion of multiple images
i was experimenting and i was trying to test out the my paper mine idea it was a good short success but the probe i had it was quite time consuming and teddies

day one


as the first day came to an end after meeting the illustrators i was tad confused and left in the dark as they didn't bring eny work to the table and i had to do some research from what they described about there image. i understood what they was trying to say but it would of bin help full if i could see the image, over all the team wasn't that ban i got on with them and each of use came up with some interesting ideas.


videos

here are two videos the illustrators sent me to look in to i can see whey they looked at these videos they are both quite hypnotic and groovy and they could be quite useful in the way they both use symmetry in the videos and using symmetry could be a us full method

illustrations


here are the two illustrations the the illustrator e-mald me they are quite crazy and funny i think i am going to have a lot of fun working with a kaleidoscope theme

paper idea

i am not that sure on what method i am going to use just
yet i was thinking of using paper as the mane material as i
have never focused my ideas on paper before and it could be
quite interesting to use i was think of using this method in this
paper animation called ( my paper mined ) at the bottom of this blog





as the mane focus in the story evolves around kaleidoscope i began to look on the internet for ideas of different kaleidoscope

all tho this is no a kaleidoscope i thought that the use of the colours could be quite interesting

ice breaker

in this project applied design 2 it involves calibrating with other people
and working together to create a team
unfortunately meeting people for
the first time can be
awkward and uncomfortably fortunately there are methods to create a better
environment for the team like an icebreaker an activity that involves
everyone in the team
like pub, theme park, meal or even an indoor game that will get people
involved and get to no each other

like this crazy cool game

studios

as i am a big fan of the filming and tv advertising industry, i first began to look at the uk film council i found the site really help full as the site explain a wide range of different studios but unfortunately the majority of the studios are based in london

The various studio complexes offer a range of stage sizes and excellent support services to meet the needs of any production. The studios are conveniently located in and around major cities, with good transport links. Specialist water tanks and underwater stages are also available.
